Overview of USTC
USTC History and Location
USTC was established by Chinese
Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 1958, and
is the only university affiliated to CAS.
Moved to Hefei, Anhui, in
1970. Hefei is about 3 hours’
train ride to Shanghai.
USTC is a Unique University in China
Under Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)
Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)
is a leading academic institution
and comprehensive research and
development center in natural
science, technological science and
high-tech innovation in China.
USTC is part of CAS.
CAS Headquarter, Beijing

Education
USTC is regarded in China as “The Cradle of Scientific Elites.”
 Enrollment to USTC is extremely selective, for only top 3-5 ‰ of
the high school graduates are admitted.
 Students receive solid training in mathematics and physics.
 70% of the undergraduates continue
to pursue post-graduate study home

Research
USTC is a vital base in China
for science and technology innovation.
 All the disciplines in science at USTC are rated A level.
 USTC is the only university in China that has two national
laboratories on campus:
 National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (NSRL)
 Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Micro
Scale (HFNL)
 Successful rate of research proposals to NSF of China exceeds
45%, the highest among the Chinese universities.
 Citations per faculty at USTC In the past ten years are 9.23, the
highest among Chinese universities.
National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory
 NSRL is the first dedicated synchrotron
radiation facility in China, which locates on
the West Campus of the University of Science
and Technology of China (USTC), in Hefei,
Anhui Province.
 NSRL is one of the key issues of China’s
investments on large-scale scientific research
facilities. Its construction began on Nov. 20,
1984, and completed with a national review in
Dec. 1991. In order to make effective use of
the facility, with an investment of 118 million
RMB, the Phase II Project of NSRL was
carried out in 1999 and passed the national
quality evaluation in Dec. 2004.
Hefei National Laboratory of Physical Sciences
 Found in 2003，Hefei National Laboratory of Physical
Sciences at the Microscale (HFNL) is located on the
campus of the University of Science and Technology of
China (USTC), under contract with the Ministry of Science
and Technology and CAS.
 At HFNL, major focus is placed on areas of nano-science,
information technology, biological science and cognitive
science. HFNL is currently composed of seven divisions,
including Division of Atomic and Molecular Sciences,
Division of Nano-materials and Nano-chemistry, Division
of Low-dimensional Physics and Chemistry, Division of
Quantum Physics and Quantum Information, Division of
Structure and Function of Biomacromolecules, Division of
Bio-X interdisciplinarySciences, Division of
Theoretical and Computational Sciences and
Division of Public Technical Services.
High Magnetic Field Laboratory, CAS
 High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HMFL)
jointly built by CAS and USTC, was founded
on April 30th, 2008 in Hefei city. HMFL was
founded to provide first class steady high
magnetic field facilities to researchers and to
better develop high magnetic field science.
 HMFL focuses on three missions:
1. Establish a wide range of user facilities and services for magnetrelated research at the frontiers of science. These facilities are open to
all qualified scientists and engineers.
2. Develop multidisciplinary researches, including physics, chemistry,
biology, material.
3. Advance magnet-related technology; stimulate invention and creation
in the high magnetic fields.
Research Labs
 Large scientific facilities jointly built with other organizations
 High Magnetic Field Laboratory
 Meridian Space Weather Monitoring Project
 Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST)
 State key laboratories
 State Key Laboratory of Fire Science
 State Key Laboratory of Nuclear Detection Technology & Nuclear
Electronics
 National engineering laboratory
 National Engineering Laboratory of Speech and Language Information
Processing
 Other national-level research platforms
